Should I install the rpm package manager to install the driver? I've got my backup ready to restore the system if something goes wrong.
It looks like you may need to. One other possibility (which may not work) is to locate the rpm which gets extracted before the install removes it (if it does remove it.) I've used a similar method for Java (IIRC) on a different system. For this to work, you need to ensure the script part of the file doesn't perform a 'critical' operation. Generally, the script portion is used to present the 'eula' and wait for confirmation It may even be possible to strip off the sh script portion and then unpack the rpm.
